“…PCTFE is only soluble in 2,5‐dichloro‐trifluoromethyl benzene at 150 °C), and (iii) the inherent difficulties encountered when cross‐linking. To overcome the aforementioned limitations, CTFE has been extensively copolymerized with monomers such as vinyl ethers (more than 300 patents have been deposited by Asahi Glass Co.), ethylene (poly(CTFE‐ alt ‐E), ECTFE, Halar ® commercially available by Solvay Specialty Polymers), and propylene (poly(CTFE‐ alt ‐P)) . In these three cases, the resulting copolymers are alternating in contrast to those based on vinylidene chloride, vinyl chloride, styrene, MMA, N ‐vinyl pyrrolidone, vinyl acetate, vinyl triethoxysilane, diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC), or fluorinated dioxolane that lead to random copolymers with low CTFE contents.…”
